Meyer Sound ULTRA-X42-WP-3 2x8" Weather Protection, 2-Way Active Speaker, 3-Pin Input

Meyer Sound’s ULTRA-X40 and ULTRA-X42 designs are truly professionally as it still continue the tradition of the highly successful UPA loudspeakers—it is made so versatile that they've been a universal standard in almost every application for over 35 years, one of them is the Meyer Sound ULTRA-X42-WP-3. From touring performances to theme parks, worship venues to theater shows, and lecture halls to large scale concerts, Meyer Sound technology truly showed their capability to deliver exceptional fidelity with high power, low distortion, and uniformly predictable behavior.

To this legacy, Meyer Sound incorporated technology from the popular and award-winning LEO® Family of loudspeakers for bringing multiple enhancements to bear in the ULTRA-X40/42 designs:

• Innovative, highly efficient class D amplifier and advanced signal processing that are capable for reproducing any sound source with linearity over a wide dynamic range.
• Weight reduction of 25lbs (11kg), as well as a reduction in overall size compared to the UPA loudspeakers for increased power to weight and size ratios.
• Concentric driver configuration that comes with all the benefits of a coaxial driver, yet none of the disadvantages. In addition, this configuration is capable to support directional control of frequencies down to 400Hz.
• Extremely well-behaved, rotatable horns designed for very precise, even coverage. These horn designs, in conjunction along with the concentric driver configuration, capable of delivering consistent patterns despite the orientation.

With these enhancements, the ULTRA-X40/42 loudspeakers are capable to providing high power output, low distortion, and consistent polar response in a more compact, vented enclosure.
